Josh Rouse – The Embers Of Time (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Josh Rouse has spent two decades quietly building one of the more understated catalogs in American singer-songwriter music, relocating from Nebraska to Valencia, Spain and letting that displacement seep into his sound in ways both subtle and profound. The Embers Of Time finds him drawing on that tension between roots and reinvention, the kind of emotional reckoning that tends to produce an artist's most honest work.
While singer and songwriter Josh Rouse felt good enough about life to name his 2013 album The Happiness Waltz, his peace of mind didn't last, and he fell into a depression that found him questioning his career and many of his major life choices. Rouse went into therapy to sort out his feelings and make sense of his career as well as his life as an American living in Spain. These experiences informed a handful of songs that became the foundation of The Embers of Time, Rouse's 11th album, which the artist describes as "my surreal ex-pat therapy record." While the songs are among Rouse's most personal, they also reflect the literate but down-to-earth lyrical style and countrypolitan sound that have long marked his most memorable work. Selections include "Some Days I'm Golden All Night," "Coat for a Pillow," "Too Many Things on My Mind," "Worried Blues," and six more.
